[intro]
the crime you two planned was indeed perfect
only the victim is alive, and the murderers are not
it’s a pity you didn’t know when you started your game of murder
that i was playing too..
[chorus]
i’ll never shed a tear (i’ll never shed a tear)
for a so called friend who stabbed me in the back in the end
i’ll never shed a tear (i’ll never shed a tear)
for another bad day, i just kept on goin’ my way
i’ll never shеd a tear (i’ll never shеd a tear)
‘cuz you chose to walk, i got better things to do than listen to you talk
some burn bridges behind me, but that’s cool
you’re better off alone than in the company of fools
[verse 1]
and yes, the speakers are bleeding
i abused them too long
tortured them with horrible, melancholy, sad songs
must be some kind of crooked magic
the way these lost souls line up to eat some static
i followed those sounds along the train tracks
battled with men in black trying to get my brain back
and in a few moments i find time to sleep
i dream of fire and brimstone on bay street
anger management, bipolar disorder
pockets full of m y fats, pennies and quarters
hate mongers (terrible)
maladjusted citizen make tracks for the delinquent ones raised on ritalin
who dire straits on the fire escape
who set fire to the gates of the liars and fakes
underground rare
won’t let go your neck until it snaps
walkin’ underneath a black overcast
in this hip~hop sandbox i’m the kid you shouldn’t play with
new kid at school raised by wolves in the wilderness
eatin’ a bowl of macaroni and craft glue
p~ssin’ down the slide, touch my toy truck i’ll smash you
got a lot of enemies i use to call friends
and a lot of friends that are enemies in waiting
i guess i’m antic~p~ting the eventual falling out
won’t hesitate for a second to call you out
[chorus]
i’ll never shed a tear (i’ll never shed a tear)
for a so called friend who stabbed me in the back in the end
i’ll never shed a tear (i’ll never shed a tear)
for another bad day, i just kept on goin’ my way
i’ll never shed a tear (i’ll never shed a tear)
‘cuz you chose to walk, i got better things to do than listen to you talk
some burn bridges behind me, but that’s cool
you’re better off alone than in the company of fools
yes, you’re better off alone than in the company of fools
you’re better off alone than in the company of fools
[verse 2]
have you ever watched a old man slowly die
listening to dean martin and staring at the sky
got a head that’s empty with angry and strife
ronald isley catching r. kelly with his wife
it’s a strange life, but i didn’t choose it
can’t make a living, might as well make music
at your job it would seem you’re just a cog in the machine
working your hands to the bone for another man’s dream
on your back they built their monetary wealth
at the expense of your sanity and health
when would i time to rap if not in this factory
what would i rap about if not for struggle and misery
discontent, i write raps and record ’em
best believe bad luck is better than boredom
won’t waste my breath asking life to be easy
trust me you don’t know half the story when you see me
a lot of these things in this world seem horribly wrong
as long as it stays interesting i’ll play along
[verse 3]
i got a uncle in guyana, 48 years old
and when his name comes up, there’s a story that’s told
about this man who made beautiful art
who panted pictures in his room all alone after dark
how he lived down on essequibo coast
trying to make a living off what he loved the most
but how he smoked a lot and messed around with cocaine
about the bad spirits that nested in his brain
and in the evening he came home and fixed something to eat
and saw a snake moving under the bed sheet
so he grabbed a stick and he beat that snake
terrified he wouldn’t stop until his arms ached
and when he finally stopped and caught his breath
pulled back the sheet and saw his father lying there dead
each morning i write a new chapter in a book
dragged from dreamland with a rusty fish hook
i think about those dreams the first half of the day
i spend the rest thinking how i’m gonna get my way
psychic dictatorship will catch many but never me
my volatile brain chemistry rains heavily
and it goes up like a time bomb in a bus station
shattering its fleshy encasing
my labor of love is this canvas covered in red
bleeding wounds from the battle waged in my head
delirious passions and disturbing visions
pixelated pulling smile of the devil on the television
this house is infested with rats
running around in the dark and fighting over scr~ps
police and bandits, bass and treble
peasants, fishermen, and holy men and devils
witches and vixens, life and death
poets and murderers, spirit and flesh
pink, orange, and red, the sunset is pretty
hanging over top of the rotting belly of the city
marking your futile effort to breathe
you insist on staying, your soul begs to leave
now are what soft stitch are these men really made
i’ll gut you like a fish, put it all on display
and what’s worth while living in the last days
saturated in a electro~magnetic rays
and what worth is there in what a dead man wrote
resonating in my skull where the dead words float
and what about these devils that laugh while we choke
we got plenty of lamp posts and plenty of roads
[outro]
i meditate on the vastness of all the sp~ce
it’s my only way to escape from this planet of the apes
and we both know that the past don’t exist
i might be salty while you’re smiling but remember
ignorance is bliss
